People know I'm hard to buy for, so I got several cheques, modest but appreciated amounts that together will leave me reasonably flush after the Xmas expenses.
I got books, as usual, and always a delight.
A designer friend told me what my apartment needed and – after I accumulated all the necessary stuff during a morning-long raid on IKEA, à la American Psycho - spent six hours helping me install everything. (This makes a real difference, believe me ... I work at home, and the lightening of the atmosphere is wonderful.)
And then, in a sign of things to come, I was given ... a blood pressure monitor.
My first reading, taken ten minutes ago: 133/90.
Which is just fine, waaaay down from the 165/105 of a month ago.
Shows that el cheapo diuretics are damn fine for most blood pressure problems.
And considering that this was a post-coital reading, only minutes after the taking of the monitor’s virginity, Rubi’s bopperbasting joys may yet enjoy a long horizon.
